Press means lower costs and better service!

October 1, 2006

SIAM book buyers outside North American can now celebrate a new arrangement
that will bring them speedier service, lower postage rates and all-round
ease of ordering and paying for SIAM books.

SIAM and Cambridge University Press have joined as partners in an innovative
distribution agreement for SIAM books in all worldwide areas outside North
America. This new relationship will mean that SIAM members and customers
get their orders faster and with lower dispatch rates, have the ability to
pay in several local currencies and get member discounts with a local distributor.

This new alliance between SIAM and Cambridge will streamline the process
for purchasing SIAM books and eliminate problems that some buyers have experienced
with middlemen and agents involved with getting material from SIAM to the
reader. With stronger global sales and distribution channels, SIAM books
will now be available more quickly than ever before throughout the world.

Additionally, SIAM members will receive full member discounts for SIAM books
when ordering via Cambridge. SIAM members need to reference the code SIAM99Z
when placing orders with Cambridge.
